NASA predicts total blackout on 23-25 Dec 2012 during alignment of Universe.
US scientists predict Universe change, total blackout of planet for 3 days from Dec 23 2012.
It is not the end of the world, it is an alignment of the Universe,
where the Sun and the earth will align for the first time. The earth
will shift from the current third dimension to zero dimension, then
shift to the forth dimension. During this transition, the entire
Universe will face a big change, and we will see a entire brand new
world.
The 3 days blackout is predicted to happen on Dec 23, 24,
25....during this time, staying calm is most important, hug each other,
pray pray pray, sleep for 3 nights...and those who survive will face a
brand new world....for those not prepared, many will die because of
fear. Be happy, enjoy every moment now. Don't worry, pray to God
everyday. There is a lot of talk about what will happen in 2012, but
many people don't believe it, and don't want to talk about it for fear
of creating fear and panic.
We don't know what will happen, but it is worth listening to USA's NASA talk
about preparation. Whether it's true or not, better be prepared. No
panic, stay calm, just prays. Remember to smile more, love more and
forgive more...every day. Better avoid traveling during December.
world.'
NASA America predicts total blackout on Earth from 22-25 Dec 2012 during alignment of Universe.
If possible, please avoid traveling during the third week of December 2012 as all modes of communication may fail.
US scientists predict total darkness on planet earth for 3 days from
Dec 22 2012. It is NOT the end of the world, it is just an alignment of
the Universe, where the Sun and the earth will align for the first time.
All planets are expected to align in a straight line as a result of
which there could be some natural calamities on Earth. The earth will
shift from the current third dimension to zero dimension, then shift to
the 4th dimension. During this transition, the entire Universe will face
a big change, and we will see an entire brand new world. The 3 days
blackout is predicted to happen on Dec 22, 23, 24, 2012.... So do good
be good live for the present enjoy life.
Analysis: False.
NASA
has predicted no such thing. Indeed, the phrases used above — "total
blackout of planet," "alignment of the universe," "shift from the
current third dimension to zero dimension," etc. — are not only
undefined, but meaningless. It's pseudo-scientific nonsense.
To give our unknown author(s) the benefit of the doubt, the
"alignment" to which they refer is probably the passing of the sun, as
seen from earth, in front of the approximate center of
our galaxy on Dec. 21, 2012 (the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere). That's really going to happen. The thing is, it happens
every
year at the exact same time and portends nothing whatsoever in terms of
earthly events, good or ill, given that the galactic center is some
28,000 light years (165,000
trillion miles) away.
Granted, it so happens there's a super-massive
black hole
at the center of our galaxy, and as everyone knows black holes are
mysterious and scary, prompting purveyors of 2012 doomsday scenarios to
speculate that the aforementioned celestial event may in fact wreak
physical havoc here on earth. But again, we're talking about a cosmic
entity unimaginably far from earth, and a celestial alignment that
occurs every year like clockwork and has throughout all human existence.
What's so special about 2012?
Answer: nothing.
About the NASA video: Most versions of the text include a link to a two-and-a-half-minute
YouTube video
showing NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden, Jr. recommending to
employees and contractors of the space agency that they develop family
preparedness plans in case of unforeseen emergencies. It was recorded in
June 2011. Its message is routine, generic, and has nothing whatsoever
to do with "dimensional shifts," "alignments of the universe," or a
"total blackout of the planet." You can view the video in its original
context
